Questions about open work permit concept

[abhishek87]

Hello folks,

My wife is planning to pursue an MBA in Canada, and i'm planning to travel with her as a dependant. We want to settle in Canada on a PR and hopefully citizenship after that. I have a few questions regarding this and I hope someone can help:

1) I've read that dependants of full-time students can work full-time. Is this absolutely true, or are there any conditions to this?
2) Assuming that i find full-time employment as a dependant, can i use the employment offer to apply for my PR?
3) How much time would my wife have to find a job after finishing her MBA? What happens to my open work permit (assuming i get one) after she finishes her study?

Can someone help out with these questions? It would be greatly helpful to me

Thanks!

1) It's true that you qualify to apply for a work permit as a dependent. However approval of the work permit is not guaranteed.
2) Yes.
3) It's really impossible for any of us to say how long it might take her to find a job. You cannot extend your open work permit until your wife secures a job that is skill level A, B or 0

You will need to move over to the International Student section of the forum if you have further questions.

Thanks @scylla, is there a way to "move" a thread directly into another subforum? Or Do i just delete this and re-create there?
